Sion Hall (London)

 office building, listed building / architectural heritage, Grade II Listed (UK)

Sion Hall is located on London's Victoria Embankment with views over the Thames. The building, designed by Sir Arthur Blomfield in perpendicular gothic style, was completed in 1886 and is one of London's Grade II listed buildings.
The Sion Hall site originally formed part of the garden of Salisbury House, the medieval London home of the Bishops of Salisbury. Buildings here were destroyed in the Great Fire in 1666, following which the Earl of Dorset commissioned a lavish theatre designed by Sir Christopher Wren. By the 1720s the land was being used as a wharf and timber yard, replaced in 1814 by the City of London Gas Works, before being sold to Sion College in 1884. The Library, within the college, held some 100,000 volumes which were accessible to the public and to scholars, and was a place of wholehearted commitment to achievement.
